Role of Emotions in Development of Malignant Tumors: Based on Theory of “Heart Governing Mind”
It is believed in Chinese medicine that "heart governs minds"
and minds guide emotional activities.Emotional disorders are always related to the heart
sometimes the liver. The main problem is always the unclear mind in heart. If the mind in heart is unclear
the body resistance to the environment will diminish
thus prone to emotional disorders
which can transfer directly into Zang and Fu-organs
or result in Qi and blood disorders
which can also damage the functions of Zang and Fu-organs
leading to Qi stagnation
blood stasis and phlegm obstruction
the basis of tumorigenesis
increasing the susceptibility to malignant tumors. Modern medical research also shows that emotional disorders could affect DNA repair
immune function
tumor angiogenesis
thereby promoting the occurrence and development of malignant tumors. In clinical practice
physicians should pay attention to the regulation
maintenance and tranquilization of heart
so as to effectively prevent and treat malignant tumors. "Treatment from heart"can provide a new treatment strategy for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors in Chinese medicine.
